Former Dallas Mavericks center Shawn Bradley was paralyzed after an accident riding his bicycle in January. The 7’6” former number 2 pick is recovering at his home in Utah but his life will probably never be the same. This video tells Bradley’s story to explain the potential silver lining in the midst of tragedy.

Met him a couple times in Orlando and was not expecting him to be as friendly and genuinely nice as he was. A kid about 8 to 10 years old was trying so hard to get autographs from Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash,and Michael Finley Shawn had signed an autograph for him but before going into the locker room he saw hiw upset the kid was. Those other players had walked by and ignored or just didn't see the kid. Shawn asked the kid why he was so upset and the kid told him, Shawn ask to see the poster the kid had and took it into the locker room and about 15 minutes later comes back out with the poster signed by every single player and coach. A little while later thenplayers came out of the locker room all asking to meet the kid and took some time to sign autographs! I think it really did bother him that other players ignored the kids wanting autographs or any kind of interaction with a player. But he made that kids day and everyone else that got an autograph thanks to Shawn! Its not much but it is more than any other player would have done and it changed how every one of us who were there looked at Shawn Bradley!
I met him once also. Same experience, really nice guy. I met the wife and all the kids too, all 7 or 8 of them lol.
Wow..smh..he alive tho
i met him at legoland and it turns out his son goes to the same school as my brother
Beautiful story. Thank you so much for sharing. Not enough of those.
Jesus loves you and may God bless you all..
I liked him,never knew him as player,but as an Actor in Space Jam. One of my all time favorite movies. I hate to hear this happen to him ( or anyone)
I THOUGHT man’s looked familiar but I couldn’t for the LIFE of me figure out where I’d actually seen him til I saw your comment. I agree it’s terrible what happened as like you said one never wants to hear about anyone having these sorts of troubles. He seems like an amazingly nice man.
Lol I never watched him play bc i'm too young but I remember him in space jam and playing as the all time mavs with him in 2k and my dad saw him at six flags once.
So you observed that he is nearly 8 feet tall but didnt have a clue that he is a basketball player?
@@Lorenshyne can you read?
Jesus loves you and may God bless you all.
Shawn Bradley man 😭. Played with and against one of his cousins in high school. Great guy!
Shawn Bradley is the living being of “family man” and “devoted”
Jesus loves you and may God bless you all.
As a man who has been hit by two cars while riding my bike this makes me hella thankful I can still ride. (I ride an electric bicycle year round in a busy and alcoholic heavy city)
Cheers.
My pray go out to the shawn bradley and his family... get better big guy...
I also served an lds mission to Australia.(although 20 years after he served). People still talked about meeting him and his height. Good guy.
Prayers up for Shawn, he got a family most of us would envy, helped tons of people, what a ride it's been so far. Keep on keeping on, buddy.
I saw Shawn B at an NCAA tournament game in Salt Lake City about 4 yrs ago, and asked him if I could have a picture with him. He said yes without hesitation. CLASS ACT.
Thank you for doing this video. He lives in my parents neighborhood and I think you hit the nail on the head. He really is a good guy all together and I know it is a very challenging situation for his family from what I hear.
ITS FRIDAY 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Wow didn’t know any of that about Bradley except for him getting dunked on, my brother and I would always laugh at his reaction it was always like “Whatever”🤣 but our faith can carry us further than our physical bodies can take us. Those who are able to bring the greatest comfort to others are often the ones who have suffered the most themselves. He’s going to help so many people when he gets through this because his best work is yet to come. Prayn for the Big Fella 🙏💯
I loved this video. Shows a good man doing his best. Do more videos like this talking about players who are worth looking up to.
I said a prayer for Shawn B. God will take care of him. Amen.
Right. I don’t think so
@@fezzik7619 cause your an atheist who doesn’t believe in god god can do anything he will help Shawn get through his paralysis
@@westbeast8293 you’re* I happen to be an atheist yes. By get through his paralysis I hope you don’t mean walk again. Spinal fusion surgery eliminates that possibility. The invisible sky wizard can’t fix that. If science can find a way to reverse that before he dies he might have a shot, but otherwise his fate is sealed. What do you say about god putting him in that wheelchair in the first place? The old “god works in mysterious ways” cop out? You’d think he’d put a heathenous non-believer like me in that chair, not a highly devoted Mormon.
@@fezzik7619 ok if your an atheist or not that’s up to you
@@westbeast8293 I’ve heard it all before. You believe everything you’ve been told since you were young and never bothered to question it. No I’m not going to regret being an atheist. I have no fear of the wrath of a god that doesn’t exist or being judged and sent to a hell that also doesn’t exist. These are old myths created by man thousands of years ago. I don’t waste a second of my life worrying about what happens after I die just like I haven’t spent a second thinking about all the time that passed before I was born. It’s a huge waste of time.
It's inspiring how devoted he is in his faith, especially in today's society where most of pop culture's values is the opposite of Christianity. Good on him!
Hey Casey. I am the winner of the jersey. However many people have been making the same account as me. Here is some proof that I am the real Vinotha Raghu. When I won it said the comment I put. It said this is for the draw and I said it a few hours ago on the Lamelo and Lonzo video. Also I have been a long time supporter. I have commented on many video such as the Raptors off-season with trades. I want to let you know that a lot of people have made an account with the same name as me. I have evidence that I am real Vinotha Raghu. Also I am excited for the Tobias Harris video and kept up the great work. Please heart so I know you have acknowledged this comment.
Ur probably really stressed. lol.
This is the man casey
Yes sir
we're getting u that jersey big boi!!
Appreciate the support
Shawn knew what was important, and I am praying for him. He has my utmost respect
Jesus loves you and may God bless you all.
My dad went to high school with his ex-wife and I actually saw him at one of the reunions when I was little (I wish I had the courage to try to talk to him since he seems like a great guy). I wish him nothing but the best for his recovery! 🙏🏼
my mom went to high school with his current wife
As a Die hard sixers fan, keep your head up Shawn bradley. Keep fighting. You'll walk again.
Terrible tragedy. But this young man is a rock of faith and hope. Somehow always maintains a positive outlook. THAT should be on his poster of life...
How do you not see a 7’6” dude on a bicycle? And he had to be riding one of those old school giant wheel bicycles
No doubt. You should see him try to sit in a normal chair at a restaurant. Dude so tall he couldn't fit his knees under the table.
One of your best videos my fellow Rockets Fan. I'm sure we both remember that series with TMAC. Man I feel truly inspired in a very positive way. Thank you for birnignsome light into my day. I am not LDS and never will be... But a true Believer lives the love of his faith and I have no doubt he has found his salvation and will overcome his injuries.
AMEN, so TRUE!
damn, that is rly sad, nobody deserves that. wishing the best for him
Loved this video Casey. Thanks for taking to time to make this one.
As a Mormon myself I know his faith will get him through this. I just hate he’s having to go through it because he’s such a good positive person
Once again excellent video Casey; totally changed my perspective about Shawn and my best wish to his recovery!
He had the passion for basketball. Heartbreaking knews. Mindlblowing that nearly the same happened to another all time great tall shot blocker, Mark Eaton.
He may have been dunked on many times, but he dunked on many himself and blocked a lot of dunks. He came out on top.
He is the type of guy you can’t hate. Even if you disagree with his faith (I’m not Mormon at all) that’s the type of guy you have to respect. Type of guy that would treat you like a brother and not like an inferior person for not sharing the faith.
Shawn came to dinner at my grandmother's house in Australia when I was a kid and I have a photo of him with his hands on our heads as 3ft kids. Really nice guy.
Sad such a thing happening to anyone, get well soon Shawn!!
Excellent video! Never knew all this about ol SB. I’m not very religious but he sounds like he really is/was a great person doing so much to help others. Hope he recovers quickly!
Casey this is my favorite video of yours. I am of the same faith as Shawn Bradley and the parts about his mission, faith, and values are all accurate. I’m glad you said that yes, Mormonism is a form of Christianity
This was truly saddening but at the same time hopeful and inspiring. I hope Mr. Bradley will find solace in the fact he still has many people who are impressed by his career as well as his authenticity.
very inspiring ! You narrate so well , nice voice too
Believe me Shawn WILL walk again. God wants to show us something!
Mr Bradley blocked A Lot of shots to.
He did not shy away from defending the rim, dunked on or not.
Any team in the NBA should want a player like him today.
Rudi go go would be runner up in blocks after Shawn Bradley
When he was 14 he visited his aunt at my middle school. He came into the gym I was the only one in there. He was 7'4 at 15 he broke the backboard and we both stood there for a second and said ahhh my dad's going to murder me it's not my first time. It's coming out of my allowance. The principal came in a few minutes afterwards and i told the principal it was me. I was 5 ft. He didn't buy it.
Such a good video great job
I freaking love Shawn Bradley and got he skipped the draft to go on a mission. Prayers up did him 🙏 And I hate that people think that he never made an all star team because Of his religion
How ridiculous
No...he just wasn't good
Great video caseyyy 👍
I can’t imagine how hard it must be in his situation, from what I’ve seen and heard of him he has a very good family around him and hopefully his faith , family, and praying will comfort him in whatever is next in his life. I will pray for there family and him as well. God bless
Fantastic vid! Well done. 👏
Great video. I agree with you 💯%.
I love Shawn Bradley I’m actually Mormon as well and I’m leaving on my mission in a few months
Congrats!
Where ya headed?
@@brodieweber6 I don’t know yet I’m about to turn in my papers tho
Best decision y’all can ever make before marriage! I hope it’s in GA! I still love that place more than anywhere I’ve been since! Congratulations my friend!
He sounds like a great guy and I hope that this horrible accident doesn't ruin his life. From what I can gather, it won't. As a side note, he was no bust. He was actually a fairly good professional basketball player and under-rated.
I like this man's value system. Of course he's been right all along, but it takes immense strength of character to hold on to one's beliefs while being assaulted by temptations that money bring along.
you were right this was the best feature Friday
I played bcba and we went to a Nets game. I snuck from the top seats and got to the floor. I got close to Shawn and begged for his towel lol. He threw it to me, with a puzzled face lol. I was so happy. I was waving it around like a helicopter lmao. Thanks Shawn. Get well soon please! I'm so sorry.
What a great character, great video
He looked better before and after he played basketball different vibe and energy much happier
I needed this. Thanks.
Ayyy thanks for the shoutout! Shoutout back at ya for the consistently fantastic content.
Of course brotha!! Thanks for the continued support!
I loved Shawn Bradley as a Sixers fan. The then owner Harold Katz encouraged the infamous Philly press to go in on him as motivation. It backfired and he was shipped out of town. I always rooted for him wherever he played but I am rooting for him now more than ever.
inspiring and moving video on Shawn Bradley. I really liked this one. great job Casey
How did the car not see him he’s 7’6 and prob on a big bike how does the cat not see hin
Prayers for Shawn and his family during these tough times. 🙏 so unfortunate it happened to such a devoted person both Church and Home. Good Luck to all in his family.
Damn Bradley 🙏🏽💯 love to you and ya fam my guy
may god show him miracle as he he show other and let him walk again so ppl can see the miracle of god prayer and though for him amen
Sure hope you get better Shawn
great video. He was underrated in the NBA and a great person.
It's clear you're a good man too, it takes one to know one. Keep up the great work and videos.
I really like your videos.
Impressive that you were so positive
God bless Bradley family🙏🏻 it’s obvious this guy is just a flat out good guy and didn’t deserve this. Prayers go out to him and his family
Praying for your speed recovery Gentle Giant.
how the hell do u not see a 7 foot 6 guy on a bike. smh
Great segment, bro. Subbed.
I watch this man for years hate this the good lord will c u thru bug cuzz
Always loved his attitude! GOD Speed, Big Fellas... always in our prayers!
God bless him. A very inspirational man.
.....Shit..Great video..But really sad for Shawn
Hope he doing good
Bro, life can be so cruel! My prayers are with you big fella
God will reward him as he cared for life and is happy content even if the devil has tried to destroy him for his faith will reward him eternal life
Who else thinks it’s time to change the channel logo
The Legend and One of the Greatest Giants played in basketball history, And a Original cast of Space Jam with the GOAT MJ vs MOONSTARS
always loved bradely, he's just a great guy. this is horrible, you will walk again. love you bro ❤ 💯
great story .
Being happy and contented is the best form of success
This is great news considering I misremembered that he was struck dead like fellow 7 and a half footer Mark Eaton was, around the exact same, very-weirdly enough .. but no, he was ‘just’ paralyzed while Eaton was struck dead
Happy Easter 🐣
God bless him and family 💙💙💙
Prayers for The Big Guy Bradley...😔🙏
Dam I'm really praying 4 him.
I read your name fast and thought it was “the Mormon beer podcast”. I Was thinking..... dang, even the anti’s love this guy! 😂
Glad he’s getting prayers from everyone 🙏
@@analisebrownmn 🤣🤣🤣 pray 🙏up 4 him
I love this video ❤️
He’s a great man
"Space Jam" star Shawn Bradley. Damn man. This is truly sad.
I would trust shawn Bradley with my life
How the hell do you clip a 7'6" guy on a bike?
Great feature Friday
Can u send me boban hahagahhahahahh
Prayers 🙏 to him and his family
I hope he will still recover well from the injury..
i know nothing about basketball, but i met him at football match in london in 2019. he was a lovely man (apologised because he sat in front of me and i couldn’t see😂) so this is very sad to hear :(
Hang in there Shawn, praying for you
Adore Shawn
This is really depressing to hear. It sounds pretty bad but I wish Shawn all the luck in the world.
God bless him
You are correct!
Stud, praying for you Bradley Clan!
In PA you must give a cyclist 4 feet. Sadly, I have seen a car nearly run a bike off the road and a cop looking right at it did...NOTHING.
